Hi y'all, [wavey] The stainless steel is 18/10. Thanks for the thoughts. >> arto - Passivate? Can I passivate it after welding? How? heat treatment? cheers, [cheers] GM

Hello again, [wavey2] Yes, they use bad tooling to produce the grater. I've informed them that the best thing to do is produce a better tool. Cheers, [cheers] GM [blues]

Hi All, Thanks for the thoughts... [wavey] >> mvcjr - As for the difference in frequency, I dunno, we've never had problems with that before. But I will look into that as well. >> cbarn24050 - We sample check, but the amount of problems we're facing in Europe is not proportional to the amount...

Hello, I work for a trading company and we are in the process of buying a kind of grater (like a cheese grater). The problem is that the grater is very dull. We want it sharper, but the factory says this is not possible. I know this is not true, because I've seen plenty of graters which are...

Hello, The company I work for sold a lot of outdoor lightchains to Europe for the Christmas season. We bought them in China and when we tested them they were fine. Now in Europe a lot of them flicker. They tell me it is because of the temperature. In Southern China (+25 degrees Celsius) it is a...

Hi, Can anyone tell me about the BS 5486 on pump control panels? Also, what does IP-ratings stand for? Cheers, GM

Hi again, Just checked the Cullom webpage, but from what I see it they only use plastics and I am looking for aluminum and other sheet metals. Am I wrong in my assumption? Cheers, GM

Dear ccaserta, I don't know if it is something, but if you give me some more details (on the process and/or company name), I might find out by myself. Thanks for your input. Cheers, GM

Hi all, I am looking for a way to make the small round ducts and also the round branch ducts quicker. Currently everything is done manually and I’d like to change that. Does anyone have any information on duct manufacturing processes (both automatic, semi-automatic and manual)? I found some...

Hi all, Has anyone heard or read anything about a project whereby rectangular ducts are made in a production process as follows. This is taken from a webpage I found: ------------------------------------------------------- Project Description Up to now the ventilation industry has used...

Hi, I am looking into the process of making sheet metal air ducts. Does anyone have experience and/or knowledge about a sheet metal duct production process or even something like an 'air duct maker'? Also I am looking at plasma and laser cutters (for the sheet metal), but I worry that the heat...

Hi Ruma, I tried several times (last week and today again), but when I fill out the registration form, all I get is an error message. I don't know why, but I do know that my country is not on the list (Hong Kong). I will try to contact Lindab directly to see whether there is something wrong on...

Dear rustbuster1, I have considered brazing, but what I found was that you have to heat the whole object and that would mean pumping a lot of energy (heat) into a duct. Of course I might be wrong and if so, I would appreciate to learn more about that from you and/or others. You mention the...

Hi DesignerAtOrder, Thanks for your reply. I know that joints for ducts in general are mechanical, but we have some ducts which need to be "leak-proof" on the sides. This means that I have to use other means of joining the seam, and that means either adhesive bonding or welding...

Hello all, I am currently working in the HVAC business and am trying to improve the welding of ducts. I have been looking at seam welding for this (ducts are sheetmetal (galvanized steel, stainless steel or aluminum) of thicknesses between 0.6 mm and 1.5 mm). The length of the duct (and thus...

Hi, I am looking to find a way to improve the seems of ducts. These ducts are for example used for airconditing. Currently these seems are welded but the quality is not that great. The sheet metal of which these ducts are made are about 0.6 mm to 1.0 mm thick. The length of the seem is about 1...

Hi, Does anyone know of 3D CAD software which can be used for HVAC design (both for designing the individual ducts as well as the layout of connected ducts in buildings. Regards, G. Mensing
